It is not clear who is the designer of it, selling at Tip Top Props as a interior decoration item, 10W x 14.5H either inches or cm, at any rate this would make it 4W x 5.8H meters
Likewise a difficult challenge, most of Paris is historical monuments, we may say that most of Paris is classified in terms of what can take place there especially in public spaces
The Trocadero square maybe facing the Eiffel tower, it does dispose of a very large surface however, most of it unoccupied
London is next, we have no idea when or what it will be, and it makes it all the more interesting, it might be a completely different style, but we will only know when it appears, out of nowhere like the rest of them
And I am convinced that this part of A& as a media agency, well it's many things, proposing public monuments that further enhance the settings of a city and its public spaces, has proven to be not a matter of do me this or find me that, no the real reason of its success is that it just happens, almost by itself
It still is a business, where A& takes ownership of these whole projects end to end, until they are properly installed and the municipalities sign off on them
Although they are our clients we are in fact our own clients, these are the things that we want to see in those cities, I do not think we will ever be in a position where a municipality tells us find me something for a public square, that is in a strictly commercial approach
We need something for Rio also, that we have no idea what it is either, also these different art pieces are manufactured locally by local artisans and or industrials
Disco Teddy is glazed for example so that its mirror parts stay in place permanently
It is sized up to the Trocadero which is very vast, what does Disco Teddy mean is an interesting discussion to have, however public square art pieces do not necessarily have a meaning, other than that they make sense aesthetically where they take place
We can imagine that it is facing the Eiffel Tower, that getting near, 3rd visual perspective, it is going to hide all of it, and isn't that something in itself that a teddy bear can hide the Eiffel tower
ie it should be positioned where it creates that surprise and still at a considerable distance from the tower so that past it you can admire the Eiffel Tower, and Paris can have both perspectives to offer to the visitors of the Trocadero not just a single one
There is that shot where the Eiffel Tower is missing from the frame, and it is an amazing picture to take, and critics have to make a living, many of them didn't want the Eiffel Tower to start with
"Enfin quelquechose pour cacher la Tour Eiffel", is something that may appear on a newspaper, and so what, there is no denying that the modernism of the tower was chocking to the purists for whom Paris died under Napoleon, there is only pouring more of it on top, they are the very same for whom Centre Pompidou is an horror, and they are right and wrong at the same time
